A chiropractor is a person who practices
chiropractic
alternative medicine, specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Rick White
is a Doctor of Chiropractic, and he’s the owner of the
newly-opened Coos Bay Chiropractic and Wellness Center, located at 1611
Virginia Street, Suite 117, in North Bend.

I spoke to Rick about his new clinic and what it
has to
offer. “We run on a five point plan combining chiropractic
and
wellness elements of nutrition, exercise, rest and a person’s
mental/emotional states; hence the name Coos Bay Chiropractic and
Wellness Center. Chiropractic is at the top of the list, and I truly
believe it’s the most important thing that people can do to
improve their overall health. If your spine is not in proper alignment
your nervous system is not functioning at full capacity and everything
in your body will be affected; your ability to absorb nutrients,
exercise effectively, rest, think, it’s all
diminished.” Rick, who opened this clinic in
September of
2015, graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in biology,
minoring in chemistry. He then went on to the University of Western
States in Portland, finishing with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.
“I practiced in Eugene for 14 years and had two different
clinics
that I operated. I retired for a brief span, moved to Coos Bay, and
then opened this clinic. I guess I just got tired of being
retired!”

Coos Bay Chiropractic and Wellness Center is
located in the Pony Village Mall, 1611 Virginia Ave. in North Bend.

Rick continued, “One of the things that
I
specialize in are auto injuries. I did a great deal of advanced
training and probably saw more motor vehicle patients than anyone else
in Eugene during that time. Here I have geared my facility
toward
that type of patient, and wellness patients. We have some of the most
advanced tools and equipment available in the industry today, as well
as a therapy room and exercise room. We use therapeutic
lasers,
which are vastly superior to what you’ll find at most clinics
anywhere. I had a fellow with restless legs syndrome who had tried
everything: drugs, exercises, you name it. He got better after four
sessions at our clinic. Many people with arthritis,
neuropathy,
joint and muscle pain are looking for an alternative to drugs for their
pain, and these lasers often get simply amazing results.”

I asked Rick why he decided to advertise his
clinic in
the South Coast Shopper. “I really haven’t done any
advertising since we opened and I wanted to get the word out. In my
experience, the Shopper is the best way to do that,” he
replied.

So if you’re looking for some pain
relief, or just
want to lead a healthier lifestyle, give Coos Bay Chiropractic and
Wellness Center a call at 541-808-9285. They’re open Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from 9 am to 5 pm, and Tuesday and Thursday from 9
am to 1 pm.

“This is an amazing community and I love
it here,
we have had such a warm and friendly reception from everybody in
town” said Rick. “There are so many wonderful
people here,
and we’re doing our very best to take exceptionally good care
of
each and every patient, each and every visit.” For
